AMS4368A: Aluminum Alloy, Discontinuously Reinforced Hot Isostatically Pressed Shapes 6061B/SiC/40p (3 μm) (T1P) - Material Specification

Features

Issuing Committee: AMS D Nonferrous Alloys Committee

Scope

Content: This specification covers discontinuously reinforced aluminum alloy (DRA) metal matrix composites (MMC) made by mechanical alloying of 6061B aluminum powder and SiC particulate, which is then consolidated by Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) into shapes between 12 to 100 square inches (0.008 to 0.065 m²), inclusive, cross-section. Tensile property response to heat treatment has been demonstrated on samples of 1 square inch (645 mm²) maximum cross section (see 8.9).

Rationale

Content: AMS4368A results from a Five-Year Review and update of this specification with changes to update wording to prohibit unauthorized exceptions (3.4.2.1, 3.7, 8.8), update applicable documents (Section 2, 3.1.2, 3.3.1, 8.3), definitions (2.6.1), and ordering information (8.9), and allow the use of the immediate prior specification revision (8.7).
